This is an assumption, but I believe you cannot. That feature is not built into this device.

Better check, your tablet probably has a GPS already. You need to say more about your product. If it is a windows8 tablet it will support it. The output of the BU-353 is a standard serial format.

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.

Yes, it works just fine. Any of the Lowrance GPS or Combo GPS units works with this as long as it has the SD port or SD mini-port.

It is simply a gps receiver. It needs to be connected to another device to provide mapping, route, speed readouts, etc.

I don't have a gps unit, but it charges an iPad via the USB port and simultaneously charges my iphone in a charging cradle that's connected to the lighter adapter port. I would think it would charge your gps just fine. Hope this helps...

i dont know but with my old GPS II+ works perfectly!, i just installed the driver USB to serial contained in cd. Set the Interface GPS Garmin II+ to GRMN/GRMN. In my case i used Mapsource & all is ok.

Unit does have a usb input. I have not tried to use it, but it should work.

Was not included but has ports to allow for one. You can find one that will work for pretty cheap money. Side note - I probably would not buy unit again with hindsight. GPS sw needed update out of the box and would cost additional $75.Actually use phone gps that this unit now.

The USB ports were able to charge my LG phone but not my GPS. I have to use the center 12v port with an adapter cable to power the GPS. The only downside is the combination of the USB adapter and adapter cable sit pretty far out from the cigarette lighter.

Not with this device. They might have a three wire version, try calling the seller. There are plenty of other GPS devices that hardwire into the vehicle or work on batteries.

Yes, It works fine. I installed a rs232 driver to use with USB port and It works excellent. I am using EasyGPS program in Win and LoadMyTracks program in Mac.

Yes this has a gps in the form of usb stick. I have had issues with the gps being iffy when connecting depending on the operating system it works with xp, 7 and 8. Simply load the software and that loads the drivers for the gps and off you go. There is an icon in the toolbar to start the gps. Put in a start and an ending point turn on the gps and it will give turn by turn directions.

No, you need an external GPS adapter you can most likely find on amazon. Personally I woudnt get it, I don't see it working very well.

No, and the USB power cable in this package is not a data cable. If you want to replace or have a spare data cable, you will have to get it from another source, probably Garmin direct.

I don't think you could connect using usb but you should be able to use an aux cable from your headphone jack to the unit.

It sounds like you are looking for something to download maps to a car or maritime GPS. I am unsure, but I doubt it unless you have no wired option for connection. I use mine to connect to my forerunner GPS watch.
